Fast-Acting, Contact-Kill Mosquito & Tick Protection
Take control of your outdoor spaces with Tailspin® Mosquito and Tick Killer, a professional-grade, water-based concentrate engineered to knock down target pests in seconds. Formulated by Neudorff Pro, this innovative insecticide utilizes a powerful blend of premium plant-based essential oils and sodium lauryl sulfate.
Upon contact, Tailspin swiftly disrupts the protective cellular membranes of insects, ending pest activity almost immediately. It delivers the fast knockdown power of synthetic chemicals without leaving harsh synthetic residues behind.
FIFRA 25(b) Exempt: Tailspin qualifies as a minimum-risk pesticide. This status allows you to manage severe pest pressure with confidence around family-focused spaces, commercial landscapes, and sensitive ecosystems.

Approved Use Sites & Coverage
Tailspin is optimized for outdoor commercial, residential turf, and ornamental applications. Spray thoroughly where pests rest, harbor, and breed:
- Top Use Sites: Home perimeters, schools, play structures, patios, decks, docks, public parks, horse barns, golf courses, and non-food greenhouses.
- Target Vegetation: Shrubbery, dense bushes, perimeter trees, lawns, woodpiles, and shaded, moisture-rich zones near water features.
- Concentrate Yield: 1 gallon of pure concentrate treats up to 20,000 square feet of target area.
Application & Mixing Instructions
To achieve optimal pest knockdown and lasting residual control, follow this mixing guide:
- Assess the Pest Pressure — Determine Dilution Rate: Use a 5% dilution rate for preventative maintenance and normal pest pressure. Increase to a 10% dilution rate to break intense, heavy infestations.
- Prepare Your Equipment: Pour measured clean water and Tailspin concentrate into your chosen application system. This formula remains perfectly suspended in hand-held tanks, backpack sprayers, hose-end units, fogging equipment, or automated misting arrays.
- Spray to the Point of Runoff: Apply the mixture thoroughly to target surfaces, ensuring you coat the undersides of leaves and deep interior branches. One gallon of diluted mix will reliably cover 500 to 1,000 square feet depending on foliage density.
- Establish a Maintenance Cycle: For continuous, season-long defense, reapply every 21 days or immediately following periods of heavy, persistent rainfall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tailspin safe around pets and children?
Yes. When applied according to label directions, Tailspin is safe around children, pets, and local wildlife. Its FIFRA 25(b) exempt status confirms it meets the EPA's minimum-risk pesticide standards — no registration required because the risk profile is that low.
How long does Tailspin last after application?
For continuous, season-long protection, reapply every 21 days or immediately following periods of heavy, persistent rainfall that may wash residual coverage from treated surfaces.
What's the difference between the 5% and 10% dilution rates?
Use a 5% dilution rate for preventative maintenance and normal pest pressure. Increase to a 10% dilution rate when breaking heavy, active infestations. Always assess pest pressure before mixing to avoid over-application.
What sprayer equipment is compatible with Tailspin?
Tailspin's water-based formula remains perfectly suspended in virtually any application system, including hand-held tanks, backpack sprayers, hose-end units, foggers, and automated misting systems — making it ideal for both residential and commercial-scale operations.
How much area does one gallon of concentrate cover?
One gallon of Tailspin concentrate treats up to 20,000 square feet of target area. Once diluted and ready to spray, expect coverage of 500–1,000 square feet per gallon of mixed solution, depending on foliage density and application method.
Where exactly should I spray Tailspin for best results?
Focus on where mosquitoes and ticks rest, harbor, and breed: undersides of leaves, dense shrubs, shaded and moisture-rich zones, woodpiles, lawn perimeters, and areas near water features. Spray to the point of runoff for maximum contact kill.
Is Tailspin registered as a pesticide?
No registration is required. Tailspin qualifies as a FIFRA Section 25(b) minimum-risk pesticide, meaning it is exempt from EPA registration requirements. This allows confident use in family-focused spaces, commercial landscapes, and sensitive ecosystems.
